I just watched NNN's proxy anointing video again and the thought popped into my head: "How can anyone, by the looongest stretch of the imagination, believe this shit!?" Unless I'm mistaken, I think he uses his real name as the dead guy name, which is pretty amusing. Discernnment? In the temple?? Geez....

Anyway, back to the subject: What am I referring to? Please tell me I'm wrong, because this is so far out there in Crazy Town and I can't believe it didn't hit me until I watched the video again.

OK, so....

You get vicariously baptized and confirmed as a member of TSCC, with the associated anointing stuff like "...your vitals and bowels, that they may be healthy and strong and perform their proper functions; your arms and hands, that they may be strong and wield the sword of justice in defense of truth and virtue; your loins, that you may be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth, that you might have joy in your posterity; your legs and feet, that you might run and not be weary, and walk and not faint."

Wait. Wait a minute....

YOU'RE DEAD!!

You are either in the CK, OR your spirit is separated from your body until the resurrection, when they will reunited (I hope that bullet hole in Hyrum Smith's face gets fixed). Anyway, despite TSCC's teachings I still most TBM's think they'll go right into the CK and do the Eternity Shuffle.

Anyway, my point is: how in hell can you wield the sword of justice in a perfect place like the CK, or the TK, or the perfect world after the resurrection!?

How can you be fruitful and replenish the earth?? You're dead! You're done for this world in the replenishment department!

Not be weary? You're dead! Plenty of time to rest!

Seriously now, they couldn't come up with a better endowment for dead people!?

Please tell me I missed something, because this is utter and complete bullshit that only proves the brainwashing is 100% complete, and I mean North Korea style.

And "prophet's" have written hundreds of books (referencing each other of course) discussing this utter crap.

Can't all that temple stuff for the dead be done by the prophet in one glorious blessing? We're talking about tens of thousands of years of human beings we have no record of. How are they going to be done? And according to my DNA report I am 2.9% Neanderthal. Is the church going to do them too? I think the prophet could make the Catholic sign of the cross and all the dead would get the temple stuff done for them. That way a person would only need to do their own temple stuff. Wait!!! Then there wouldn't need to be that many temples. Wait!!! Maybe the temple stuff could be done at the local stake center and the temples could become what? Monuments to the Big 15?
